Pfizer 2 in the morning. Seems like most of the bad reactions have been Moderna 2, so i'm optimistic. Will update in 24 hours.

Fever and chills about 12 hours after. Popping a Tylenol and trying to sleep.

[MaybeACoordinator 8349]

Pfizer 2 around noon yesterday. 16 hours later, little different than the first -- arm is a little more sore/achy/stiff around jab site, but nothing else. 

[1978horn 880]

Pfizer 1 on Friday morning. Pretty good headache in the middle of the night/Saturday morning. All good now except for a little soreness on the arm.

[Knoxtnhorn 5929]

Pfizer 2 almost 24 hours later.  Absolutely no side effects.  Last night, I thought I was starting to feel off, but that could have been the bottle of wine or the fact that my wife had woken me up at 5AM for ... stuff.  When I press at the injection site, I can feel a tad bit of soreness, but nothing worse than how I feel after mowing the lawn.  I'll check on my wife when she gets up.

My SIL supposedly had a week's worth of reaction to #2, but she's a lazy, hypochondriac that is always looking for a reason to skip work.

Quoting you but for anyone getting the J&J vaccine, something I wish I would've been told beforehand, it's not like a normal flu shot (specifically in duration.) Expect the injection to last a solid 20-30 seconds after the needle enters. I mention this because I tensed up towards the end and ended up with a marble sized bump that had to be smoothed and massaged out over the next couple days. 

[AnotherUTFan 9673]

I had J&J and that was not my experience at all. It was the easiest shot I've ever recieved, the worst part was the alcohol wipe.

I had the same experience with J&J. Little to no side effects or arm soreness at the injection site. I really expected much more.

[Mach 1 1676]

Same.  I waited for a J&J opening, and it finally opened up yesterday.  24 hours later no effects, nada.

I wonder if reactions to the vaccines have anything to do with having/not having antibodies.  Meaning those with no reaction got Covid asymptomatically in the past and have them, where those who were never exposed to Covid don't have them.

My wife was sick in March last year and she didn't test positive until a week or so after symptoms hit hard.  So I was fully exposed for an extended period but had nothing.

Who knows, just spitballin.

I got Moderna 1 last Saturday and didn't have any side effects other than a sore arm for the next 48 hours. To my knowledge, never had COVID. So from a purely anecdotal standpoint I don't think you're far off.

There is some correlation theorized, particularly with the first shot, as in a stronger reaction there is correlated with previous COVID infection. There was at least one study noting that possibility, and anecdotal reports as well. Of course, not everyone with a reaction to the first shot had COVID, and there's a wide range of reported side effects among those who were never infected/don't have antibodies. It isn't some hard and fast rule. I don't think there's a lot of certainty behind why the side effects can vary so widely.

About 10 hrs post Moderna #2.  So far just some soreness in the shoulder, just like with the 1st dose.

OK so at about 20-24 hrs post Moderna #2, I started to feel a bit fatigued and lethargic.  That progressed over the next 6 hrs to sore neck, slight headache, and perhaps low grade fever (I didn't take my temp).  Took some acetaminophen and now 5 hrs later I feel pretty much back to normal.

I didn't have any side effects either. The only reason it happened was from me tensing up. In fact, I didn't even notice the bump until I felt a small, non continuous, itch at the injection site 2 days later. 

Just wanted to make that clear because I've been getting people registered left and right for the J&J shot. No one I know personally has had any side effects with it, including parents and grandparents. J&J is the troof!!

[Lurch 5921]

Hope you guys got a good batch. J&J hit me at hour 12 and I was in a fog for another 36

2nd Moderna jab. About 45 minutes later,, I was driving home and suddenly felt this overwhelming and irrestible urge to hear Matthew Sweet's power-pop ballad classic Girlfriend. Was it available for free on Amazon prime? Yes it was. Whereupon I rocked like it was 1991. I'm going to enter it into the FDA self report side effect database.

[atomheartbevo 89409]

Wait, when you all got your vaccine, did you have to climb into a machine that looked like this:

And was there some German-sounding guy telling you that everything would be okay, but that the vaccine amplifies everything about you, and he was a real asshole as he started to offer you wine, and then said you couldn't have it because of the vaccine.  After you got it, which was agonizing as hell, did some British woman come up and touch your chest?

Also, did anybody shit blood for a few hours, and have some vicious fever dreams?

[kmac30 416]

Got my Pfizer 2 on Friday at 10am. By 8 pm I was starting to get a fever. Ran over 102 until morning. Mild fever all day Saturday with headache. Hit 102 again during the night. Finally felt better later this morning around 10.

I got the J&J shot yesterday afternoon. Felt fine an hour after and went for a couple mile hike.

Got some chills and was running a low grade fever right around 11pm while laying on the couch watching a movie. A couple hours later when I went to bed I got really hot and had a hard time falling asleep. Felt ok today, just a little tired, some soreness in my arm, and some light muscle aches, but that could have been from the hike.

This was not my experience. The needle was only in my arm for a short time. It was over before I even had a chance to wince. I wasn't really counting but it couldn't have been more than 5 seconds.

[Victorious1 140]

Got the J&J on Friday at 2PM.  Drive thru event; took about 45 minutes including the 15 min wait after the shot.  No problems Friday after the shot.

Saturday was fine; felt great.  There was mild aching in the back of my shoulder.

Sunday the ache was gone from back of shoulder but I could still feel a little soreness in the muscle in my arm when I exerted myself.  However, Sunday afternoon I could tell there was something stirring; felt very tired and on the verge of getting chills or something but so far have not gotten to where I have felt ill.

[CooterBrown 17904]

Dunno if it's been posted, but Office Depot will laminate your vaccine card for free.  However, if the provider used a clear print label with some of the vaccine info on it, they recommend not laminating it because the heat from the machine will cause the entire label to blacken and be unreadable. I got my handwritten card laminated but my wife couldn't get hers laminated because H-E-B used a clear label  for the lot number data.

 

[Jerry Callo 8663]

I received my 2nd Moderna on Wednesday - felt like crap on Thursday afternoon and evening.  Wife gets 2nd Pfizer this Friday.  18 yo daughter received her 1st Moderna on Friday.  16 yo daughter gets her 1st Pfizer on Wednesday.  Whole house will be fully vaccinated by the end of the month.

Lest there be anyone from densely populated urban centers that think vaccines are easy to come by in Texas - here's a breakdown of my experience with the vaccine system:

I spent 10+ hours getting my elderly mother vaccinated - driving to and from vaccine appointments; waiting two and a half hours for the second shot; a few hours signing up for various appointment schedulers, registering for lists, texting and emailing. 

I spent 6 or so hours getting my vaccination - driving 45 minutes to and from the appointment, twice; a few hours signing up for lists, monitoring websites, and emailing.

I spent 3-4 hours signing my wife up and refreshing websites to get her scheduled.  She will have spent 4 hours driving back and forth to her appointments.

I spent 3-4 hours signing my oldest daughter up, refreshing websites, and taking her to get her first shot.

I spent 3-4 hours signing my youngest daughter up, refreshing websites, and getting her scheduled.  I'll have to take at least 2 hours for each appointment to take her to get her shot.

So, I have spent over 30 hours getting everyone in my orbit scheduled and vaccinated.  Should it be easier than this - absolutely.  Have state and local governments bungled the vaccine roll out - in many ways.  I will sleep a little better knowing that I made the effort to get my family vaccinated and would do it again if need be.

Unless you've already had COVID.  If you HAVE already had COVID then-- anecdotally of course-- it's the first shot rather than the second that often seems to result in a reaction.

Note-- there is no peer-reviewed study that proves the above.  It's just something that appears to be happening based on reports here and elsewhere.

Depends on how close the cell tower is to your gym.  Sometimes, it helps to wrap your upper arm in foil to improve reception.

Got Pfizer 1 on friday; zero side effects outside of a very sore arm around the jab site. Woke up on Saturday night because I was sleeping on my side and my arm hurt. Still slightly sore today.

So dumb question. When these vaccine trackers say 20% are fully vaccinated and 32% are partially vaccinated, are those separate groups or are the fully vaccinated included in the latter. More simply, are these trackers saying we are 50% partially to fully vaccinated?

I read that as "32% are at least partially vaccinated" so that includes the population who are fully vaccinated.

Ok so my wife keeps hand-wringing that the J&J vaccine isn't as effective as the two-shot mRNA vaccines. I don't understand the concern, since we're both young and not at risk anyways, and the J&J was shown to be 100% effective at preventing hospitalization and serious illness

[NeverMarryAStripper 21781]

I logged on to Kroger over the weekend and they had all kinds of appointments available near me.  I scheduled my son for his first Pfizer shot this Friday at a Kroger down the street.  They go ahead and schedule your second dose appointment at the same time.

Sitting in 15 minute detention after my Pfizer 5G injection. I was 20 min early for my appointment and they ran me right in. 10 minutes for all that. Injection 2 scheduled for April 26.

You are correct. The main purpose here is to prevent hospitalization and serious illness. I joke about J&J but in reality i would have taken it in a heartbeat.

 

[Patricio Swayze 17058]

Team Swayze looking pretty good. Just about every adult in the family is vaccinated or has had the first shot. Both parents, both brothers, one SIL, my wife and my MIL in Brazil got her second shot today. Not sure why one SIL is refusing. Younger brother had an immediate but mild reaction to the first shot of Pfizer, but he is good now.
